How to Care for Moissanite and Sterling Silver Jewelry

Lab-created moissanite is a hard, durable gemstone, and 925 sterling silver is a classic metal. With a little routine care, both keep their shine for years. Here is a simple guide.

Clean it gently

Soak the piece for a few minutes in warm water with a drop of mild dish soap. Brush softly with a soft toothbrush, rinse well and dry with a soft cloth. Skip harsh chemicals and abrasive cleaners.

Protect the silver

Sterling silver can darken over time when it meets air and moisture. Wipe it with a soft polishing cloth after wearing, and store it in a dry place, ideally in a closed box or pouch. Our 3-Tier Jewelry Box keeps pieces apart so they do not scratch each other.

Put jewelry on last

Perfume, lotion and hairspray can dull stones and silver. Get dressed, do your makeup, and add your jewelry at the end. Take it off before swimming, showering or cleaning.

Gold-plated pieces

Gold plating is a thin layer over silver. Avoid rubbing it with abrasives and keep it away from water and chemicals so the color lasts longer.
